The nucleus of an atom of Y92235, initially at rest, decays by emitting an α -particle as per the equation :
Y92235X90231+He24+ energy.
It is given that the binding energies per nucleon of the parent and the daughter nuclei are 7.8MeV and 7.835MeV respectively and that of α -particle is 7.07MeV/ nucleon. Assuming the daughter nucleus to be formed in the excited state and neglecting its share in the energy of the reaction, calculate the speed of the emitted α -particle. Take mass of α -particle to be 6.68×10-27 kg.
